Donald Trump saying that he doesn't think about the American people's financial situation.

He just said it in the presser about an hour and a half ago.

On what Trump just said at his presser.

I don't know what he just said.

He said he doesn't think much about the finances of the American people.

I would have to find out the context of it.

Senator, real quick, what do you make of Donald Trump saying that he doesn't think about the finances or the financial situation of the American people?

Did he say that?

Yeah.

I don't have a comment about that, mostly because I think he actually does care.

Yes, Senator Reed.

So I testified this morning to HACTI that between the joint staff and the comptroller staff, our operational cost estimate is now $29 billion.

A lot of that increase comes from having a refined estimate on repair or replacement costs for equipment.

Our munitions costs are fairly fixed.

We think they're very accurate and there's some O&M costs there as well.

We're not making an estimate for MilCon at this time.

We don't know what our future posture is going to be.

We don't know how those bases would be reconstructed.

And we don't know what percentage our allies and partners will pay for that reconstruction.

We just don't have a good estimate at this time.
